You are testing web application software that allows a person to use their travel points to make flight and hotel reservations.
When the user logs into the software (username/password) they are presented with a set of options. From that set of options, they can pick the following:
1. View points balance
2. Make flight reservation
3. Make hotel reservation
From the login page, they can log in successfully or might fail and need to try again. Once they login successfully they can go to either the view points, flight reservation or hotel reservation page.
Which of the following is the correct list of the transitions (a transition is shown as >) that should be tested, assuming that the test ends when a reservation state is reached.

• • A. Points > Reservation

  
  

• • B. Login > Points, Points > Flight, Points > Hotel

  
  

• • C. Login > Login, Login > Points, Login > Flight, Login > Hotel, Points > Flight, Points > Hotel

  
  

• • D. Login > Login, Login > Points, Login > Flight, Login > Hotel, Flight > Hotel, Hotel > Flight, Flight > Login, Hotel > Login

Which of the following is an advantage of the whole team approach?

• 
  

• • A. Any person in the team with the right skills can perform any task

  
  

• • B. Tasks are assigned to specific team members who will own that task until completion

  
  

• • C. Testers have clear ownership of quality and this eliminates confusion and overlap

  
  

• • D. Business representatives are not included in the team so they can supply independent assessment during UAT

• 
  

• • A. Exploratory

  
  

• • B. Decision-based

You are working on calculating the estimation for a project. You have been given the following numbers by your manager, who is considered to be an expert in estimation:

Optimistic = 35 days -

Likely = 40 days -

Pessimistic = 65 days -
Apply the three-point estimation technique, what is the proper expression of the final estimate?

• • A. E is 46.3 days, SD = 35

  
  

• • B. E is 40 days, SD = 6.67

  
  

• • C. E is 37.3 days, SD = 43.3

  
  

• • D. E is 43.3 days, SD = 5

  
  

Which black-box technique should be used to verify different responses of the system, depending on its current conditions or previous history?

• 
  

• • A. Use case testing

  
  

• • B. Decision table testing

  
  

• • C. State transition testing

  
  

• • D. Equivalence partitioning

  
  

You have been given the following story:

As a help desk worker -
I want to enter a caller’s birth date
So the system can display the caller’s account information
As a team, you have developed the following table of acceptance criteria:

You have developed the following test cases and will execute them in the specified order:
1. Enter a valid date and verify that the account retrieved matches the birth date entered.
2. Enter an invalid date and verify that the error indicates the date is invalid.
3. Verify that the date prompt is already formatted for the date with xx/xx/xx format.
4. Enter a valid date and verify that two pages of account information are readable.
5. Enter a valid date and verify that the response occurs within 2 seconds when the system is under an average load.
What is incorrect about this approach?

• • A. The security test case should be executed first as it is related to access control

  
  

• • B. The test cases should contain all steps required for execution, including navigation information and SQL statements required to perform the verification

  
  

• • C. The test cases are not being executed in the proper order

  
  

• • D. The test cases do not indicate the expected result
